"Generational" Angel Hair
I grew up with angel hair and then it came in different colors. We weren't allowed to actually put it onto the tree, that was a job for the adults. Once finished, it created a lovely, ethereal, magic tree. On the other hand, my mother had a 3' tall round, fat bottle with a very small opening at the top. When she could find various colors of angel hair "on sale" (money was tight then), she'd buy several packages of it and put it into the bottle. My sister, who is now 62 has that bottle and it's a treasured possession.
My purchase was put into a lantern, along with Christmas lights, and cypress branches for a gift for my son and daughter-in-law. It's beautiful!

My Nativity
I have displayed my nativity that was hand made by my Mother and I many years ago on a bed of angel hair. One year I decided the old had to go and threw it out knowing that I would be able to buy more the following year. That was not the case! I ahven't had the Nativity out since then. My husband gave me a bowed window in the kitchen that my Nativity is going to sit in this year with my fabulous find-new angel hair from the Vermont Company Store!!! I will probably cry as I set it out as it is that dear to my heart. Happy Holidays are here again.

Angel Hair Magic
As a child my parents always had angel hair on the Christmas tree. I would lay under the tree gazing at the blue lights (my parents always had an all blue lights tree!) covered by the angel hair which formed beautiful spun swirls and designs. As a child I thought that the angel hair really and truly came from real angels! I was in awe that their hair was so soft and white!
